Chapter 1082: Intense, Sylph"s pride
In the green mist, two identical beauties stood in opposition. They never said anything from the start, they just pointed their bows at each other.
Wu Yan is a bit troubled over this.
The best way to deal with a situation like this is to get the partic.i.p.ants to talk. Using the information they revealed, it would be easy to spot the fake.
Normally, the impostor and the real person would be busy trying to prove their ident.i.ties. However, Sylph is still using that expressionless look of hers. It"s unknown if she"s not worried about Wu Yan mistaking her for the fake one. In any case, if it wasn"t because of Meteor Shower"s immense power, she would have fired the bow without hesitation.
Sylph"s cool att.i.tude is an outstanding trait of hers. However, this personality trait is proving to be more troubling now than ever before.
Wu Yan looked at the Sylph on the left and he asked despite doubting where this would take him.
"A-are you Sylph?"
The Sylph on the left glanced at him and nodded. She"s telling Wu Yan that she"s real.
However, she only nodded, she didn"t say anything. How can he verify her ident.i.ty?
Wait, since she"s so distant then maybe she"s the real Sylph? That"s something she would do.
But, the Sylph on the right didn"t defend herself. She just kept her eyes on the enemy, it"s like she"s not afraid Wu Yan might believe the impostor. Yet, this is also something the aloof Sylph would do.
Wu Yan wanted answers, he turned towards the Sylph on the right.
"Are you Sylph?"
The Sylph on the right didn"t spare a single glance, she explained thusly.
"She"s fake."
Short and simple, that"s how she said it.
But, who can conclude who is the impostor just from this simple exchange?!
Wu Yan"s head started hurting.
Natsuki spoke up.
"Use the System"s scan function."
Wu Yan opened the scanner as his eyes flashed red.
Sylph Ailu: Level 74
Sylph Ailu: Level 74
Wu Yan"s expression distorted when he read the messages in his mind.
Even the System can"t tell who is fake and who is real?!
Natsuki came to the same conclusion, she growled.
"With System"s incredible abilities, I didn"t think it would also fail at impostor detection…"
"Yeah, me too…"
Wu Yan sighed. He voiced his doubts.
"I think you said something about how being in this place affected one"s perception?"
"You"re saying…"
Natsuki continued.
"The System didn"t fail, it"s because your input is flawed that the System can"t process the information properly?!"
"That sounds right…"
Wu Yan bitterly laughed.
He looked at the green mist around him.
"Natsuki, you sensed something off with the mist, right? Maybe they are the cause?"
"Probably."
Natsuki continued.
"Since you breathe in the mist, I am guessing it must have some sort of effect on your brain. It does sound possible…"
"What do I do then?"
Wu Yan looked bitter.
"You"re an independent consciousness, mind helping me out?"
"Because I am independent that"s why I can wake you up when you fell into that dream realm."
Natsuki replied.
"But, don"t forget that I can only stay inside you so I can"t take outside information by myself. All the information I have came from perception sharing with you."
"I am just as susceptible to the illusion as you since we are sharing senses here…"
"At least, I can still wake you up when you"re stuck in that dream realm. Against this illusion, we are both victims here, how do you expect me to help out?"
"True…"
Wu Yan clenched his teeth. He opened the Gate of Babylon, a red spear shot out. It landed in Wu Yan"s hand.
The spear with the Imagine Breaker ability attached to it.
Wu Yan inhaled deeply while brandis.h.i.+ng the spear.
"Since this is an illusion, Imagine Breaker should do the trick, right?!"
Wu Yan shouted that out loud so both Sylphs looked at him. They saw the red spear in his hand.
One of them heard Wu Yan"s words and she raised her concern.
"Are you sure?"
Natsuki retorted.
"Maybe the fake Sylph isn"t a product of a magical nature. Maybe she"s closer to a mirage?"
"A mirage?"
Wu Yan frowned.
"Are you telling me mirages can mimic human movements and speech?"
"I wouldn"t be so sure about that, we are on someone else"s turf…"
Natsuki sighed.
"More like, you sure you want to poke your mistress with that spear?"
Wu Yan went silent.
"Seems like we have to buy something from the System to get out of this situation."
"That looks like the only way…"
Natsuki agreed.
When Wu Yan wanted to open the System menu to browse for useful items, the Sylph on the left lowered her Meteor Shower. She walked over to Wu Yan.
Wu Yan also stopped out of slight shock. He was puzzled by why Sylph suddenly approached him. He raised his guard.
Sylph looked at Wu Yan. Then, she s.h.i.+fted her gaze towards the Imagine Killer spear in Wu Yan"s hand. She placed her hand on the spear.
Wu Yan furrowed his brows.
"Wh-what are you doing?"
Sylph continued in a resolute tone.
"I told you there is only one Sylph who belongs to you…"
Sylph pulled the spear and stabbed her own palm with the spear.
Blood poured out…
"Are you stupid?!"
Wu Yan pulled Imagine killer away while yelling at Sylph. He grabbed her hand.
"There are other ways to deal with this, why did you choose to hurt yourself?!"
Sylph"s cold expression mellowed out when Wu Yan yelled at her, albeit only a little. Wu Yan saw the softness in her eyes.
Sylph explained herself.
"I may have lost my abilities but I am still Sylph…"
Her frosty words touched Wu Yan"s heart.
Natsuki also praised her.
"That is some pride she has. Beneath this princess" cold exterior lies a strong heart…"
"You…"
Wu Yan couldn"t say anything.
He"s sure he found the real Sylph.
Just like Natsuki said, there is no faking this imperial dignity.
The two of them looked at the fake Sylph. Their eyes turned cold.
"Are you going to continue this charade?"
The fake Sylph lowered her Meteor Shower.
Just when Wu Yan and Sylph a.s.sumed the impostor gave up, they were astonished by what happened next…
